Chuy's Creamy Jalapeno Dip

Kennasmommy's Note:

I love Chuy's dip and wanted a recipe. I took all the recipes I could find, bought some of the real stuff and made a bunch of batches. This is the closest i could get. No one can beat the real thing. You can adjust the jalepenos according to your taste. Also if you want a smoother texture, everything can be thrown in the blender after step 1. The longer is sits, the hotter it gets.

VERY close. I made the recipe with only a small adjustment - more jalapenos to almost a full cup. To get the consistency we expect I used the blender to make it mostly smooth. As a couple it took several days to eat and it definitely got hotter as it went. Will be saving this recipe as it is as close as I can expect without going to Chuy's.

Absolutely awesome! Just like Chuy's, had this at thanksgiving, quadrupled it and it was gone in a hurry. I threw everything in food processor and served with warm tortillas, fabulous

Amazing! After reading a few of the reviews I cut back on the milk to only 1/2 a cup and added about 1/3 of a cup of sour cream (it was still a little thin, but great for dipping none the less). I also blended the jalapenos, green chilies and cilantro in a magic bullet before adding them to the ranch mix to make more of a puree instead of having jalapeno chunks. I will definitely be making this again.
